In this stunning novel, the words Pure, Dead and Brilliant go together naturally. Set in 1785, Pure is the amazing tale of a Paris cemetery overflowing with bodies and disease and the efforts of one man to demolish it.

Andrew Miller has written a string of stunning novels; Ingenious Pain, Casanova andOxygen have been joined by this Costa Award-winning story.
